WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1987, PAGE 21 Nieuwendyk and Roberts on same Calgary line Two Whitby men, friends since childhood, have been r.eunited again. Not only have the duo been signed by the same professional hockey team, they are playing on the same forward line together again. Joe Nieuwendyk and Gary Roberts, pals and teammates from the time they started playing with the Brooklin Whitby Minor Hockey Association at the age of five until they went their separate ways as teens, now find themselves back together again with the Calgary Flames of the national Hockey League. Both 21, they are a key part of Calgary's youth movement. The Flames have proved to be one of the NHL's most successful teams over the past two seasons. They made it to the Stanley Cup finals during the 1985-86 season but suffered a first- round loss to the Winnipeg Jets last year. Shortly after last spring's loss, then coach Bob Johnson resigned from the squad. He has been replaced by Terry Crisp who is familiar with Roberts' style and abilities having coached him while playing for the Moncton Golden Flames for most of last season. Crisp, whose 11-year NHL career has been characterized by a rough-and-tumble approach to the game has nothing but praise for Roberts, going as far as to compare him to the Sutters, six brothers from Alberta who ail made it to the NHL on their grinding digging style. Of Nieuwendyk. Crisp is im- pressed by his keeness, saying he is impressed with his enthusiasm and ability. So after many years apart, Nieuwendyk and Roberts are back on the same line again, standing out as Calgary's best forwards duringr training camp. After playing for BWMHA, Roberts was picked up by Oshawa Legionaires Junior B squad and the same year moved up to Junior A with Ottawa '67's where he was captain for a few years prior to the NHL draft. Nieuwendyk was signed by Pickering Panthers junior B team where he played until accep- ting a dual hockey and lacrosse scholarship at Cornell University. He joined the Flames late last season and accounted for f ive goals in nine regular season games.

Comments made about logo The "Discover Durham" logo, designed by Catherine Van Tosh, provoked some reaction at last week's meeting of the Tourist Association of Durham Region (TADR) in Oshawa. "I don't like it," was the com- ment of Oshawa alderman Ed Kolodzie, who attended the meeting as did the mayors of some of Durham's municipalities. Koldozie said the logo 'doesn't identify Durham Region' and should be reconsidered. David Gould, chairman of the tourism development steering committee pointed out that the Durham Region name would ac- company the logo. More specifically, Van Tosh noted that "Discover Durham" would go along with the logo when used on highways and at tourist attraction locations. But another in attendance at the meeting suggested that "Durham Region" and not just "Durham" go along with the logo to avoid con- fusion with the Town of Durham south.of Owen Sound. Whitby lawyer Nigel Schilling said the logo overlooked the skiing attractions in the region, as the "hills and ridges" weren't represented. Van Tosh responded that the logo had to be kept simple. She said to add more symbols to protray skiing would have made the logo "dilficult to understand." Whitby ignored: Drumm FROM PAGE 3 Drumm was referring to the report which he says ignores Whit- by's tourist centre which has been in operation for six years. ý In her report, Babington suggests Whitby's centre should be designated due to its past perfor- mance and its location. Located at Burns St. and Brock St. S. the cen- tre works by "encouraging travellers to drive one stop light north of the 401 extends a glimpse of the community. It is also a catch basin for promoting the tourist at- tractions to the north, east or west," states the report. According to the report, building centres in the three recommended locations would not be "economically profitable" since they would only be a "travel con- sumer convenience, providing a quick stop iniormation retrieval centre and offer minimal or no ex- posure to the Region.- Council agreed with the report and recently recommended that the Region approach the Minister of Tourism and Recreation and have the Whitby Centre designated as an Ontario Tourist Centre. At the meeting of the Tourist Association of Durham Region (TADR> last week, Pat Olive, Durham Region . economic development manager, said the strategy proposal to establish a provincial information centre in Newcastle, Pickering or Oshawa was only a "guideline." He said he had met with Whitby council since hearing of the Town's concern and will now attempt to seek provincial funding for the Whitby information centre. which he said he recognized as the only full-time centre in the Region.
